  1. A pretty obvious question, but are you the only one who uses your search engine? I use Bing, I have about 4 different devices that automatically sign in when I turn them on.
  2. Apparently prisoners from Missouri state. A well known institution known as 'boys town' that has had several books and movies made about it.
  3. Were inside a Delta flyer. You didn't think we were planning to walk there did you? 🙂
  4. Easy, Pluto and it's five moons Always been fascinated by this mysterious dwarf planet. Next stop Titan.
  5. well spotted. 😂😂😂

  8. Atheist. I understand very little about science, even less about religion. It all comes down to trust.
  9. Some people can already do this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon_Shereshevsky https://dreamhawk.com/interesting-people/the-man-who-remembered-everything-superminds-2/ Its not like a super power though, I imagine the death of someone close would be hard to deal with. Must be extremely difficult to move on if you can remember everything like it just happened.
  10. My new employer makes communication cables for BT, Orange etc.., so they haven't shut down once, in fact they've won loads of new contracts because of this. We've had 12 positive test results in the last fortnight. I'm a smoker who lives with someone with cancer, so I'm pretty worried right now to be honest. Listening to my co-workers during breaks fills me with horror sometimes (conspiracys) it seems inevitable that someone from our team will catch it. Due to my smoking I think my chances of surviving it will be low. So yeah, a little worried right now.
  11. What would the temperature of the surrounding water be? Would it turn to steam due to friction? If a diver was passed by this supersonic sub, and wasn't killed by the shock wave, would he be boiled alive?
  12. Confessions of a Serbian monster.
  13. On the contrary, I think he's turning out to be a great pope. Pope-same sex marriage Venezuelas Maduro, citing pope, asks congress to consider same sex marriage
  14. Just wondering, if I was traveling at Mach 50, would the g-force kill me?
  15. So it's more of a material science problem then, and fuel too probably. Does science know the limits for heat resistance in materials, in the same way we know what the limits are for energy capacity for batteries? Yes, but not through earths atmosphere in a plane though. Makes me think of the relativistic baseball. Lol.
  16. Apologies if this is in the wrong space, I wasn't sure if this should be in engineering or physics. Is there a limit to how fast we can fly through the air. For example, will we one day have planes that can fly at mach 50?

  18. Is this question to me? who mentioned Robert Stephenson? There just my signatures, People I'm interested in. Nothing to do with the question.
  19. Thanks, I read something on Quora which gave the impression it would allow huge technological advances. Thought I'd check here to see if it were true.
  20. Charon Y: "It's like six degrees of Kevin Bacon" 😂😂😂

    In the 'discussion and examination of the rational foundations of religion' thread in religion.

     

  21. What will it enable us to do? Would the effects on humanity be dramatic?
  22. It's 2 hours 16 minutes long! A quote within the first minute: "Everything I know comes from non human sources". I stopped listening after this. I think the person making these claims is talking out of their ass.
  23. Good answer, next time someone asks me this question, I'll know what to say. 😁
